In this session, Alexey will take a deep dive into how large language models are trained, fine-tuned, and served, with a focus on the data pipelines and architectures that make it all work. You’ll see live demos of ClickHouse tackling massive AI-scale datasets in real time, along with performance benchmarks that reveal just how far you can push the engine.

In 2021, Alexey came together with two co-founders to build ClickHouse and is focused daily on expanding its capabilities and optimizing performance.

Ask him about speed, or CI, go on... we dare you! **🎤 Session Details: Speed as a Feature: Markethac's Journey from BigQuery to ClickHouse** Every e-commerce insight starts with a question — but when your data grows faster than your queries can run, the answers stop coming in time. In this session, Adhitya will walk through how Markethac migrated its analytics stack from BigQuery to ClickHouse to meet the real-time demands of Indonesian e-commerce intelligence at scale. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the architecture decisions, ingestion pipeline design, and optimizations that made the migration work — along with live demo showing the performance gap between the two engines on real marketplace data. If you're sitting on a growing analytical workload and wondering whether your current warehouse can keep up — this one's for you. **Speaker: Adhitya Cahyadi, Business Director @ Markethac** Adhitya Cahyadi is the Business Director and Chief of Product at Markethac, an e-commerce intelligence platform built for the Indonesian and Southeast Asian market.

Perubahan tutupan lahan merupakan salah satu indikator penting dalam perkembangan suatu wilayah. Dengan melihat perubahan tutupan lahan, kita bisa melihat bagaimana alih fungsi lahan di sebuah area berlangsung dari waktu ke waktu. Dalam konteks lingkungan, tutupan lahan yang berubah bisa menunjukkan berkurangnya luas hutan di wilayah tertentu. Itulah kenapa, banyak jurnalis, peneliti, aktivis, dan berbagai pihak lain menaruh perhatian besar terhadap perubahan tutupan lahan. Akan tetapi, untuk menginvestigasi perubahan tutupan lahan, dibutuhkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan tertentu. Itulah kenapa, webinar bulanan Journocoders Indonesia ini akan membahas bagaimana kita bisa menginvestigasi perubahan tutupan lahan, terutama dalam konteks Indonesia. Webinar ini akan menghadirkan **jurnalis Harian Kompas, Albertus Krisna,** sebagai pembicara. Krisna merupakan anggota tim Jurnalisme Data Harian Kompas yang terlibat dalam liputan tentang penyusutan hutan di Sumatera yang dipublikasikan pada Desember 2025. Liputan berjudul "Hutan Sumatera Lenyap" itu sempat viral di media sosial beberapa bulan lalu.

👋 **Hei, kamu yang percaya hal besar selalu dimulai dari obrolan kecil...** ​ Nggak ada komunitas yang langsung besar dan kuat. Semuanya mulai dari beberapa orang yang mau duduk bareng, ngobrol jujur, dan sepakat untuk saling jaga. Persis kayak yang kita mulai di sini. ☕ ​Dan kalau fondasinya udah bener dari awal, krisis sebesar apapun nggak akan mudah ngegoyahin. 🪨 ​Di meetup kali ini, kita akan ngobrol santai tentang bagaimana komunitas bisa menjadi fondasi penting dalam membangun ekosistem Bitcoin yang kuat dan tahan krisis. Karena di balik teknologi yang hebat, selalu ada orang-orang yang saling belajar, saling berbagi perspektif, dan saling menguatkan. ​Lewat diskusi ringan di meja kopi, kita bakal membahas bagaimana komunitas bisa menjadi ruang untuk bertukar ide, memperluas wawasan, dan menjaga semangat kolaborasi di tengah situasi ekonomi yang sering berubah. Dari percakapan kecil, sering kali muncul pemahaman besar. 💡 ​Jadi kalau kamu ingin ngobrol, bertukar pikiran, atau sekadar mendengar sudut pandang baru tentang Bitcoin dan komunitasnya, tempat ini terbuka buat kamu. ​🧡 Karena kadang perjalanan memahami Bitcoin jadi lebih bermakna ketika dijalani bersama. Sampai jumpa di meetup! 📌 Info Penting:🔸 **Tiket GRATIS**! Tapi peserta diwajibkan membeli makan/minum sendiri selama acara🔸 Tidak ada promosi **altcoin**, **NFT**, atau **token kripto** lainnya🔸 Hanya membahas **Bitcoin** — teknologi, nilai, dan dampaknya bagi dunia 🔗 **Tentang Kami**🟠[ Bitcoin Indonesia](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21) adalah inisiatif nirlaba yang bertujuan untuk:🕊️ Menyebarkan pemahaman tentang **Bitcoin** sebagai alat pembebasan individu⚖️ Mendorong **kedaulatan finansial** melalui edukasi netral📚 Menyediakan konten **open-source** yang bisa digunakan siapa pun, gratis 📲 **Telegram**:[ ](https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk)**[t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk](https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk)** 📸 **Instagram**:[ ](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)**[@bitcoinindo21](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)** 🌐 **Website**:[ www.](https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz/)**[bitcoinindonesia.xyz](https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz/)**

Main Bareng Pickleball at Ancol Tennis Warehouse. Join us for fun, socialising and sports at Ancol Tennis Warehouse.

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional

Expect to be challenged, affirmed, and genuinely seen - sometimes all in the same breath. **Annette Santiago Reyes** Annette has a rare talent: she makes the way you communicate feel like a discovery, not a critique. A connection catalyst and culture strategist, she helps people understand why they show up the way they do, and how to bridge the gap between intention and impact.

It's a vibrant community of hermanas supporting and uplifting each other as they navigate their paths to leadership. A Columbus Business First Community Champion and Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan, her commitment to empowering others shows up everywhere she goes. **Rachyl Kershaw** Founder of Greater Columbus Consulting and the architect behind the Confidence Lab Annual Summit, Rachyl has a gift for cutting through the noise, helping high-achievers stop performing success and start living it. She asks the questions most people are afraid to, creates space for honest reckoning, and somehow makes the hard work feel energizing.

**Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in!** **We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind.** **If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward at Prost Beer and Wine Cafe. Www.prostcafe.com**
